We expected to sit out overlooking the ocean like the last time we came but were disappointed that they no longer do breakfast in that area and were redirected to the pool area. The food was expensive and there was no view.

The restaurant at the Grand Beach Hotel Surfside is very good. Service is excellent. Sadly. The rest of the hotel is lacking big time. We won't be coming back.
